14.6 FISST Multisource-Multitarget Statistics
Thus far this chapter has described the multisensor-multitarget analogs of measurement and motion models, probability mass functions, and the integral and differential calculus This section shows how these concepts join together to produce a direct generalization of ordinary statistics to multitarget statistics Section 14.6.1 illustrates how true multitarget likelihood functions can be constructed from multitarget measurement models using the “turn-the-crank” rules of the FISST calculus Section 14.6.2 shows how to similarly construct true multitarget Markov densities from multitarget motion models The concepts of multitarget prior distribution and multitarget posterior distribution are introduced in Sections 14.6.3 and 14.6.4 The failure of the classical Bayes-optimal state estimators in multitarget situations is described in Section 14.6.6 The solution of this problem — the proper definition and verification of Bayes-optimal multitarget state estimators — is described in Section 14.6.7 The remaining two subsections summarize a Cramér-Rao performance bound for vector-valued multitarget state esti-mators and a “multitarget miss distance.”
14.6.1 Constructing True Multitarget Likelihood Functions
Let us apply the turn-the-crank formulas of Subsection 5.4 to the belief-mass function β(S|X) = p(S|x1)
p(S|x2) corresponding to the measurement model Σ = {Z1, Z2} of Equation 3.2, where X = {x1, x2} We get

15.1 Introduction
The design of practical systems requires the translation of data fusion theoretic principles, practical constraints, and operational requirements into a physical, functional, and operational architecture that can be implemented, operated, and maintained This translation of principles to practice demands a discipline that enables the system engineer or architect to perform the following basic functions:
• Define user requirements in terms of functionality (qualitative description) and performance (quantitative description),
• Synthesize alternative design models and analyze/compare the alternatives in terms of require-ments and risk,
• Select optimum design against some optimization criteria,
• Allocate requirements to functional system subelements for selected design candidates,
• Monitor the as-designed system to measure projected technical performance, risk, and other factors (e.g., projected life cycle cost) throughout the design and test cycle,
• Verify performance of the implemented system against top- and intermediate-level requirements
to ensure that requirements are met and to validate the system performance model
The discipline of system engineering, pioneered by the aerospace community to implement complex systems over the last four decades, has been successfully used to implement both research and develop-ment and large-scale data fusion systems This approach is characterized by formal methods of require-ment definition at a high level of abstraction, followed by decomposition to custom components, that can then be implemented More recently, as information technology has matured, the discipline of enterprise architecture design has also developed formal methods for designing large-scale enterprises using commercially available and custom software and hardware components Both of these disciplines contribute sound methodologies for implementing data fusion systems

16.1 Scope
This chapter defines a systematic process for developing data fusion systems and intends to provide a common, effective foundation for the design and development of such systems It also provides guidelines for selecting among design alternatives for specific applications
This systems engineering approach has been developed to provide
• A standard model for representing the requirements, design, and performance of data fusion systems, and
• A methodology for developing multisource data fusion systems and for selecting system architecture and technique alternatives for cost-effective satisfaction of system requirements This systems engineering approach builds on a set of data fusion engineering guidelines that were developed in 1995–96 as part of the U.S Air Force Space Command’s Project Correlation.1,2* The present work extends these guidelines by proposing a formal model for systems engineering, thereby establishing the basis for rigorous problem decomposition, system design, and technique application
*A closely related set of guidelines 3 for selecting among data correlation and association techniques, developed as part of the same project, is discussed in Chapter 17.
